City Council meeting of April 20, 1.992 Page _ PETITION FOR A TEMPORARY MOBILE HOME PERMIT (A. EQ -,ER) Miran made motion, Brunotte seconded, to approve the request of Arnold Ecker, 10264 122nd Street North, for a temporary mobile home permit for a three-month period, from 3/35/92 to 6/30/92. Approval is subject to payment of the $25.00 mobile home permit fee. All aye. Motion Carried. REQUEST TO MOVE IN HOUSE PRIOR TO SUED (E. SHULTZ) The Council received a copy of a letter from Eugene Shultz requesting Council authorization to allow him to move a dwelling unit on a large tract of land that is supposedly in the process of being subdivided. When the owner, Mr. A.J. Gustafson (Rose of Sharon), started selling off these parcels of land, it was noted that the subdivision had never been approved by the City. Although the realtor claims that the parcel had been subdivided, no surveys or plats were found on record at Washington County or with the City of Hugo. The City was then informed that the parcels were sold by unrecorded contracts for deed, yet those deeds were never produced. In March, 199" the city administrator met with Mr. Gustafson's attorney, and an alternative for accomplishing this subdivision was reached. Mr. Gustafson has indicated he will be applying for a subdivision of land involving Parcels A, B, D, and E. Parcel C is currently a lot of record, as is the five acre tract noted as the exception just north of 132nd Street. Although all five lots identified meet minimum -dimensional requirements, as per the City's Zoning Ordinance, they do not meet dimensional requirements for recording of the deeds without going through the formal subdivision process. Parcels E and D are deficient in lot width, and Parcel A is deficient in total lot area. In recent years, the City has not allowed the issuance of building permits, or other approvals on property, which has not gone through the formal subdivision process. If the City Council chooses to deviate from past practice, we would recommend the following: 1. Mr. Shultz be required to provide the City with a $3,000 letter of credit, to assure that the property is subdivided, as proposed, within six months of City Council's approval of this request, or the -financial deposit will be forfeited and the monies used to have the building removed from the site. 2. The house not be moved on to the site until Mr. Gustafson submits a formal application for subdivision of the property. 3. Mr. Shultz apply for the required building permits, and the building foundation, and related work, be completed within six months of permi-'t issuance. 4. Soil borings on the site be provided in an effort to identify proper building and septic system location. 5. The 100 -year high water be identified, and permits be secured from the RCWD prior to allowing the structure to be moved onto the site. (There appears to be a very high water table in this area.) 6. No one be allowed to live in the structure until a certificate of occupancy is issued, and all elements of the subdivision process have been completed.
